Felicia M. Brown

Felicia M. Brown serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the U.S. Army’s aerial and missile defense systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for mission-critical aerospace platforms, including procurement of guided missile systems, aircraft propulsion components, and advanced avionics for platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to enhance operational readiness through cutting-edge aerospace technology, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven delivery timelines. Brown maintains established contracting relationships with leading defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corporation and Alaska Aerospace Corp, partnering with industry leaders capable of delivering high-assurance aerospace systems under stringent technical and security requirements. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with prime contractors possessing deep expertise in missile integration, flight control systems, and aerospace manufacturing, often leveraging performance-based contracting and incentive structures to drive innovation and reliability. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements, Brown consistently allocates approximately 25% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation in high-technology defense markets. She actively engages with qualified small businesses capable of supporting subsystem manufacturing, technical services, and specialized logistics for aerospace programs. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), and 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), demonstrating deep technical familiarity with propulsion systems, flight control hardware, and integrated weapon system integration. Brown’s expertise ensures the Army’s aerial defense capabilities remain technologically superior and sustainably supported through rigorous, compliant acquisition practices.
